BELLEVILLE A woman claims the ParaGuard Intrauterine Device (IUD) caused her to suffer loss of reproductive health and other injuries due to a defective design.
Jennifer Horton filed a complaint (part 2) April 9 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., Teva Women s Health Inc., doing business as Teva Women s Health LLC, The Cooper Companies Inc., and Coppersurgical Inc., alleging negligence, strict liability and fraud.
According to the complaint, Horton was implanted with a ParaGuard IUD in 2009. She alleges that when she went to have the IUD removed on April 12, 2019, the device was malpositioned. She claims that despite her healthcare provider following the instructions provided by Teva on removing the device, only a portion of the ParaGuard was able to be removed with one arm missing. Horton claims the arm of the IUD device had to be removed through a hysteroscope.

Last year, during a summer of protests against police violence following the killing of George Floyd, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Council announced a $1 billion cut to the New York City Police Department’s budget, roughly half of which was achieved through shifting costs to other agencies. Of the actual spending reductions, 75% would come from reduced spending on NYPD overtime. The cap on overtime, which previously stood at about $600 million a year, was slashed to $253 million for fiscal year 2021. Critics who waged a monthslong campaign to defund the police immediately criticized the budget cuts as smoke and mirrors. The budget hawks at the Citizens Budget Commission called the cap on overtime “unrealistic” and pointed out that it was only budgeted for one year.

After spending Thursday on the water, engaged in deep policy discussions with various stakeholders on the Trinity River Restoration Project, Rep. Jared Huffman had something a bit more fun scheduled for this morning: touring a chocolate factory.
“This is a Willy Wonka enterprise here,” a hardhat-clad Huffman said, marveling at the cavernous interior of the warehouse at 333 First Street in Eureka’s Old Town.
